  • Patent number: 11481063
    Abstract: A touch driving device and a touch movement track identification method are provided. The touch driving device includes a touch sensing circuit and a touch control circuit. The touch sensing circuit receives touch sensing signals from a touch sensor array when a touch display screen is operated in a display power saving mode, and generates digital touch sensing data according to the touch sensing signals. The touch control circuit periodically generates touch coordinates according to the digital touch sensing data, identifies whether an input symbol corresponding to a touch movement track formed by the touch coordinates generated consecutively matches a preconfigured symbol, and outputs a matching result to a core processing unit of the electronic device. The touch coordinates are generated when the orientation of the input symbol drawn on the touch display screen is not the same as a screen orientation of the touch display screen.
